    Had some general question and a couple about shugoki

    First general...when the side attacker attacks and the indicator goes red but flips back and forth between the two sides because of his position and possibly your own movement due to animation...I guess what i'm asking is when it flickers pack and forth how do you know which way to block?

    second Shugoki: can shugoki do a gb and a heavy to headbutt or does he have to do a demon ball on guardbreak? If not how do you do a H to HB instead. reason: the demon ball takes to long in dominion and leaves you open for way to long in dominion.

    third Shugoki: when Shug. does his demons embrace is there a way to cancel out of his yell afterwards? Reason: It has gotten me killed more than once when I get off a lucky DE during a gank while in revenge and shug sits there yelling all the while getting hit by the opponent still fighting me.

    thanks!

    1) I'm assuming this happens to you when your opponent is standing behind you and you are locked onto another opponent in front of you. The correct side to block is the one that it's on right before the attack lands. It can be difficult when it is changing back and fourth.
    2) No, you can't do a heavy and then headbutt after a gb. You can do a light and headbutt after a GB
    3) No, there's no way to stop the Shugoki yell.

    Shugoki

    Monkey you've been disserviced with the reply you got so I'm here because I'm really hot.

    To your first point I have no idea what you're even referring to unless you actually mean if someone is attacking you from directly behind you. If someone is behind you just position yourself so that they're to one side.

    As far as guardbreak follow ups, shugoki only has one, and demon's embrace is not it. It's a heavy that launches your opponent back and regens your hyper armor at the same time, which is much more important than a headbutt. If you have a wall nearby you can throw them into the wall and demon's embrace which is guaranteed, or you can slightly charge a heavy, but I don't think you can headbutt after if you charge it at all. Again though, headbutt isn't really a good move so don't not charge your heavy because you want to headbutt.

    Shugoki is one of the worst group fighters in the game so if you're being ganked you'll likely die unless you are substantially better than your opponents, but demon's embrace is a bad move unless you have teammates nearby. Your team can easily kill the guy while you're demon's embracing, so if you have a teammate near it's generally an insta kill, the only catch is that you can get killed too if you're teammates don't know how to protect you. You can't cancel the yell but that shouldn't change anything if you use demon's embrace correctly and your team is decent.

    Thanks for your reply. The problem I have is the indicator flicking back and forth before I can exposition...it never gives a clear indication of where I'm suppose to block when they R attacking from behind or in that general area.
